How to interpret the data ?

0

Hi, this may be a very naive question, but I've just installed wireshark, and I'm not sure at all about how to interpret the data. Is there a forum on the net dedicated for wireshark (or other sniffer) data interpretation ?

There are a few good resources out there for learning how to use the program in general. Some examples:

User manual: http://www.wireshark.org/download/docs/user-guide-a4.pdf

Video training (at cost): http://www.cbtnuggets.com/it-training-videos/course/cbtn_wireshark

Books include: http://www.amazon.com/Wireshark-Network-Analysis-Second-Edition/dp/1893939944

There are free video tutorials on YouTube as well. I've actually got a few on my channel though nothing really introductory and it's just kind of getting off the ground.

Also, this is the place to ask questions that might come up as you press onward. It's Q&A rather than a forum but it works for spot questions if you need it. Also look through the history as most common questions have been asked and answered here before also.
